How does the concept of wave-particle duality explain the behavior of light, and how is it demonstrated in the double-slit experiment?

Wave-particle duality is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics that posits that light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties. The double-slit experiment demonstrates this by showing that light can produce an interference pattern (indicative of wave behavior) when not observed, but acts as particles when measured. This duality is essential to understanding the nature of light and other quantum entities.
